Here’s an interesting and quick item to check out on a Friday. This map gives an attractive, at-a-glace look at some of the world’s key natural resources, organized by country. A couple of things to note that are East Asia-related: China[1] leads more categories (at least on this map) than any other country, including wheat, cotton, gold and rice. Thailand [2]and Indonesia[3] also are represented, as leaders in rubber production.
